Bandarawela Hotel, hotel in Bandarawela

Bandarawela Hotel is a colonial style mountain resort located along Welimada Road in Sri Lanka’s Uva Province. The hotel offers a restaurant, bar and a 24-hour front desk.

The hotel holds an important part of Sri Lanka's history. There are photos, artworks and interesting details throughout the place. It has a great atmosphere of days gone by and was a meeting place for the Tea Plantation Managers, politicians, diplomats and intellectuals. Influential Sri Lankan business people and politicians still stay here and it is used as a venue for wedding photos because it is so classic and has lovely gardens - so you get the picture. It is easy to get to Ella, Nine Arches Bridge, Lipton's Seat etc. (train, tuk tuk or driver) from here and Bandarawela is not touristy. The hotel is unique and lovely. The staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble. The manager Rewatha is very professional and kind. He arranged a tour for us in "Miller's Garden" at the hotel where they grow much of their produce. The hotel has implemented environmentally conscious practices which was great to see.

Train View Chalet, hotel in Bandarawela

Located in Bandarawela, Train View Chalets are situated just 20 minutes away from Ella, 1 hour from Nuwara Eliya, and 15 minutes from Haputale.

The comfortable chalets away from the hustle of Ella and Bandarawela are tucked away in a beautiful garden with plenty of flowers. The owner arranged an excellent tour on our way to Ella rock with an open 4X4 vehicle during which we experienced a most beautiful forest with eucalyptus trees ever seen, and thereafter the historical train and the 9 arches bridge and a scenic drive through the legendary Lipton thee estate with a visit to the authentic production hall. Warmly recommended.

    Bandarawela is a busy, bustling town with all the major banks and a couple of Food City stores as well as many other shops and kadas. Just by the post office is the Bandarawela Hotel which is quiet and away from all the town bustle so ideal for a pit stop. Bandarawela is a good alternative to staying in Ella as it is less touristy but still in easy reach if you want to visit Ella. Out of the city the air is cool and fresh and the hills provide a respite for the weary traveller. From Bandarawela station you can take the train to Nanu Oya - for Nuwara Eliya, and Kandy or Hatton and indeed Colombo.

    This is a little gem just a few minutes away from Bandarawela town. The staff and owners Lalith and Nirupa are exceptional hosts and were committed to comfort of us. The house is very homely and felt like our own home. Nirupas cooking was amazing, the milk rice was a die for. While the rooms are not luxurious, they feel like a home. The blankets were very nice. Highly recommend for a family or group to have a night out. You can catch the beautiful sunrise from the room itself.

    My girlfriend and I truly enjoyed our stay at Ovitiyas Bandarawela. We took the train from Kandy and the location was very conveniently located - close to the town. The hospitality was warm and welcoming. Our accommodations were comfortable and very well maintained. Dining was a very good experience, with the staff even arranging us an outdoor candle-lit dinner. It was a delightful visit.

    I stayed here for 2 nights while attending a training session on Bee Keeping. The place is quiet after dark and very calming after a day of work. I especially like how Grand Jumbo Hotel & Restaurant was able to make me ready for my busy workday with fresh new energy. Also, the place is very affordable even during the ongoing financial situation in the country.

    Although the Hotel was not at fault, the power cuts during my stay made my stay somewhat uncomfortable. The generator was short of fuel. The restaurant and its staff were excellent Although the hotel is old, I find the stay very pleasant Hotel was also very accommodating for letting me leave a day early

    Neat and tidy place with calm environment. Place has a small garden with it's own restaurant area. Only a few rooms available yet those are bigger and well maintained thus totally worth the price. Pool table is for free to those who stay there. Food were delicious and fair price.

    The place gives us a natural, vibrant atmosphere with all the locations and scenery. During our journey, we booked the place and the owner was extremely helpful. He waited until midnight until we arrived. Without a doubt, we will suggest this place in Bandarawela.

    We had a good time in Ovitiyas. It’s just that we could stay there only for a day as the bookings were full. Special mention to Mr. Pasidhu who was very helpful and kind. The home stay was in a quiet neighborhood and near to the town.
